Better Days

It was my first time and you knew it.
I should have taken the hints and quit.
You played me like a fool,
And what's worse, I let you.
No apologies because you never cared.
I never really knew you, because your feelings, you never shared.
I should have known better, but love made me blind.
I was always just too kind.
I gave you my all, but got nothing in return.
I hope one day, you will see your wrongs.
I leave you up to fate.
I hope you will find your way before it's too late.
All that hurt is fading away,
But that love I once felt, is long on its way.
You were right, I deserve better,
And I have it in this new chapter.
I take back what I said in those letters.
It was foolish of me to think that I needed you.
When all along, it was I who didn't know the truth.
You kept kicking while I was still low.
But I'm up now. Thanks for letting me go.
